Exponential growth occurs over time. Where is there any timeline on that bar graph?

This is exponential growth. The x-axis is a timeline. The number of reported cases per time period, shown on the y-axis, is growing at an increasing rate. That's exponential growth.

ARLnow.com March 28, 2020 at 3:55pm



The number of COVID-19 cases in Arlington continues to rise.

An additional dozen cases were reported Saturday, bringing the total known cases in the county to 75. The neighboring jurisdiction of Fairfax County, meanwhile, now has more than twice the number of cases as Arlington, with 156 coronavirus cases reported.

The new data from the Virginia Dept. of Health includes 739 cases statewide, 99 hospitalization, 17 deaths and 9,166 people tested. The first case in the state was announced on March 7.

State officials are continuing to remind residents to stay at home to reduce the risk of contracting the deadly disease. Other tips from Arlington County can be found here.

Looking at South Korea as they fall farther and farther back, I can only think what could have been with competent leadership in the US. If the pandemic team at the CDC had not been disbanded, world numbers would be so much different. It's criminal.
